Q: What does the thumbscrew do?
The Veritas miniature cabinet scraper's thumbscrew cambers the spring-steel blade, curving it slightly so the corners don't dig in and leave ridges in the surface you're smoothing.
05P8410 - Veritas Miniature Cabinet Scraper

At about 1/3 the scale of the full-size tool, the miniature cabinet scraper measures 3 13/16" wide overall and weighs about 1 1/2 oz. Its small size allows fine control when smoothing surfaces.
The 15/16" wide blade, made of spring steel and ground at a 45° angle, is held at a consistent depth and angle.
A thumbscrew lets you camber the blade to prevent blade corners from leaving ridges in the work. The handle position lets you apply force directly in line with the cutting edge.
Made of investment-cast steel with a stainless-steel camber screw. Supplied in a French-fitted embossed leatherette box.
Made in Canada.
Also available in sets with our other miniature tools.
